The Iowa State Board of Education certifies school psychologists. Initial licensure for ‘Professional Service (additional support) requires a Master’s degree and completion of a professional service license program specific to an educational setting.

For renewals, Iowa accepts licensure renewal credits from an approved Iowa provider such as the AEA systemISEAPEIIowa Safe SchoolsMISIC, or undergraduate or graduate college credits from a regionally-accredited institution. If you choose an out-of-state program, college semester hour credits must be earned (not clock hours, CEUs, or staff development). Accreditation may be checked here.

Credits need to be earned after the issue date of the current license, or be no more than five years old if the license is expired. Credits should be relevant to education or an endorsement area.
